Carson Update

It's been a while, so I figured I should do an update post. Carson is doing well. He has been home for about a month and a half since the last hospital stay. During that time we have had 3 ER visits, one of which resulted in another hospital stay (he caught a stomach virus of some sort). Luckily this time it was only for 2 days. Unfortunately the timing was bad and it happened the day before Father's day.

Carson is now about 4.5 months old and is finally healthy enough that he was able to get his first round of immunizations. He hasn't really grown very much. He is 12.6 lbs. (10th percentile) and 24.5 inches long (30th percentile). I'm used to having a child on the opposite side of the spectrum. He continues to have physical therapy and occupational therapy which he is making progress in. He is still on oxygen and a feeding pump. He also still has some breathing issues that we are trying to figure out. He is scheduled to have his airway checked out with ENT in the OR next week. We're hoping it is as simple as some scar tissue that can be zapped with a laser and not something that will require another surgery. We will see....

Anyway, that's the gist of it. I will post some pictures soon. I just haven't had a chance to upload the pictures yet.
